Nintendo announcing a new OLED bundle in September does not disqualify the possibility of a Switch 2 reveal in the same month. Keep in mind it makes sense that Nintendo would put out some new Switch holiday bundles for this year to help clear out old inventory before the Switch 2 launch.

[Adrien]

Another thing to point out : Special Edition paterns

OLED Special Editions releases exactly 2 weeks before a game
Lite Special Editions releases arround 1 or 2 weeks prior to a game

And with Zelda EoW breaking that paterns, the 2 dates for the reveal are Sept. 12th and Sept. 19th

There is nothing to suggest that the OG Switch won't continue to dominate sales for years to come and Switch 2 can still drop at anytime, with both playing most new games.

I bought the 3DS in November 2016 and had no idea the Switch would come out. In fact, I would not know about the Switch until about four years later.

I just don't see a reveal happening before the holidays, personally.

[Scott...]

The leaked bundles totally feel like damage control (for lack of a better term) to reconcile sales for the holidays after the Switch 2 is announced. There always tends to be a sale or a bundle or a special edition announced in or around a new Nintendo console’s reveal period. It’s looking increasingly likely that the Switch 2 could be announced this month or the next.

Also worth mentioning that I highly doubt the bundles are what the press is hearing about. The press, developers and insiders are desperate for a scoop on the Switch 2, so why would they hear info on a bundle, let alone be drumming up hype and conversation about it? If sources like Dealabs knew precisely what the bundles are then I doubt the Switch 2 rumours are warped misinformation from that source.

This has been definitely an odd year for Nintendo. There's only been one "general" Direct, the others so far have been Partner or Indie and the Museum. It's also odd no games have been dated for February/March to close out the FY.

[NotHeresrsly]

Once again, thanks for explicitly pointing to historical examples to explain your arguments (and the inclusion of the literal Wii U commercials of the bundles was pretty perfect)

Still hope the whispers are right, but just guessing October rather than September - September for bundles and Echoes of Wisdom, sometime in October for Switch 2 announcement (to better match the original Switch unveiling, and give their September news/game reviews some breathing room?)

Unless there was a previously covered reason why it Couldn't be October?

I think it makes sense that Nintendo wouldn't want to drop the price of the Switch right before the Switch 2 is released.

A price drop now would only serve to make it's successor look and feel more expensive

Depending on the price of the switch 2 (say $400-$500?) a $200-$350 switch makes the NSW2 look like a great value ($400) or a premium upgrade(450+), possibly both, with the added benefit of not looking like an extreme price increase

billy sounds like a salty boy because PS5 won’t hit 100 mill before Switch 2 does.

Looking forward to Nintendo Prime doing the hot chip challenge!

I think a lot more people than normal are aware of a Switch successor.

It's not the same as when we grew up in the 90's & our parents were pretty clueless. Our generation are the parents now 😅

People in their 30's grew up with video games & the internet, and games are more mainstream than ever. On top of that, people have been speculating on a new Switch system for years now, so I feel like anyone with a passing interest in video game news has come across Switch successor rumors at some point.

I don't think revealing Switch 2 will change much regarding Switch 1 sales this holiday. People have had 8 years to buy a Switch, so it'd be silly to get mad if a knew one launched after you bought one.

Also, Nintendo is definitely more concerned about setting up their future system for success rather than hitting an arbitrary sales milestone with Switch 1. One last holiday sales push is nowhere near as important as a successful launch of your next gen hardware meant to carry you for the next 6 - 8 years.

The fact they're not doing a genuine price drop on Switch shows me beating PS2's lifetime sales is less important to them than it is to fans.

My friend Joycie J whose uncle works at Nintendo told me that Super Nintendo Switch would be revealed next week. I was like, Nah fam. Then she was like, Yes fam. And then we listened to Purple Rain and talked about how much we love Natsu and Prince. Well, Natsu was just me. But I’m sure she loves him as well.

[littleakibagames]

Why does expecting (or even hoping for) a long road to Switch 2 have to be an "attack" on it? I simultaneously am looking forward to the Switch 2 and wanting it to be the best system Nintendo can make, while also wanting it to take as long as possible so we can keep getting all those remasters and remakes on the Switch that often effectively serve as reprints of rare games.

[RichKetones]

I’m not gonna lie. You really presented the facts

[legowyn]

Does the mass production of switch bundles for the holiday invalidate what was shown the other day with the switch's manufacturers?

[anthonyharrison]

I Cant see nintendo to say anything about the switch 2 this year not now christmas is coming up.

[TheDoomMerchant]

Just another nothing burger video. I will eat my hat if the switch 2 is announced this month but I am not getting my hopes up for a reveal until after the holiday. Maybe we get a reveal at the game awards or around that same time in a dedicated direct similar to how the OG switch was revealed.

[abjames]

Banger vid as always... it's starting to get exciting... i called a Super Mario Bros Wonder bundle a while ago...

[crazyoldschool]

Would be nice if the pack in bundle had a physical game instead of a download voucher.
